There are some organisations that require a Criminal check to be passed before starting in a role. If you have a criminal record, discuss this with the Recruiter during the application process so they can advise on the right course of action.
It will depend on the type of visa you hold (and whether it allows you to engage as a contractor) and the type of role you are looking at. Please flag this to your recruiter if you chose to apply.
